For the second straight year, outpatient surgery leaders were forced to work in extremely difficult conditions. Not only did you continue to fight the scourge of COVID-19 by protecting yourselves, your staffs and your patients, but unprecedented staffing shortages have forced some of you to don surgical attire and work in ORs far more than you envisioned.
While 59% of the 243 ASC administrators and 48% of the 149 HOPD leaders who responded to our annual salary survey reported being happy with their compensation, some wondered if what is currently considered industry-average pay really accounts for the stark increase in the amount of work they must do — and the different roles they need to fill expertly at the drop of a hat.
